JJUUJJUU, the psych-rock collective led by Los Angeles-based musician Phil Pirrone, visited KEXP’s Seattle studios in August to deliver a Live on KEXP performance. Pirrone led the band through some of JJUUJJUU’s recent singles and also touched on the album Zionic Mud.
A veteran musician, Phil Pirrone is also behind such festivals as Desert Daze and Moon Block Party. JJUUJJUU released their debut full-length album, Zionic Mud, in 2018 and have released a string of singles in 2023 and 2024.
